Bella's having seizures. She had one Sunday night that was very obviously a seizure and I quickly realized that she's been having them for awhile now we just weren't recognizing them. I thought she was throwing fits (for no reason) but this time it was apparent that she wasn't conscience at the time and she twitched a lot. But she cried the whole time which is why we thought she was just throwing fits before, and I remember them scaring me because they didn't seem to have a cause and weren't like her at all. It went on for several minutes with her eyes rolling around and then she layed in my arms not moving. Then she grabbed her head like it hurt and cried in pain and started throwing up, after she was done puking she "woke up" and was completely back to normal. You could tell she had no memory of what happened. So now we're waiting to get her an appointment with a pediatric neurologist and get EEG done. After that we can decide what to do and whether or not to put her on medication. Thank goodness she doesn't remember what happened, that'd be terrifying for a little girl.
